From elaborate multitiered confections to more rustic bakes made with love by a family member, sharing something sweet with everyone in attendance is a delightful way to kick off a wedding. Take a look at some of the trends below to help you decide which wedding cake trend is right for your special day.

The traditional white wedding cake will never go out of style, Think a plain white cake is boring?
Not so fast. The fresh new way to do a white wedding cake is to add interesting all-white embellishments. Dress up tiers with details like piped embroidery, quilted fondant, fresh or sugar flower cascades, or jewelled embellishments. This traditional white beauty can be jazzed up with dynamic tiers in non-traditional shapes like hexagons, ovals or a geometric mix, or try combining tiers of varying heights for an unexpected side view. When it comes to flowers, there seems to be a rising demand for fresh florals – as well as an interest in handmade sugar flowers. There are always ways to reduce the cost, such as choosing one statement flower rather than masses of them.
3. Rosette Wedding Cakes
The rosette look— ultra-romantic & created with over textural sugar roses—adds unique, luxe dimension without skimping on elegance. The colour palette can be a single colour depicting your wedding theme or the tiers can be graded using an ombre rosette effect – both of which will definitely catch the eye.
